So I watched the end of the first season of Veronica Mars. Now I know. Not entirely happy.

Here's my problem with it, and with Dollhouse:

Just tell me a freakin' story where the sisters win. No one gets murdered or raped or enslaved. I just want the basic premise of the story to be 'badass sister smites the patriarchy' and then she just does it. With or without her team of trusty right-on male/female/trans buddies.

I just want a story where I can come out of each episode going YEAH! FREAKIN' YEAH!!!

Also, HBO, I want to have a little talk to you about your 'quality' programs, each of which features an male ensemble cast and the odd chick who's a sex worker/wife/slave. Sure, you gave us Sex and the City, but that was YEARS AGO and, also WHAT WAS ALL THAT SHIT ABOUT THE SHOES? I loved Big Love, but it still failed gender.

So come on, I dare you, Television: give me the sweet and lowdown. Give me a decent show with an arsekicking sister who doesn't get raped/assaulted/fired/whatever. I want her to be the boss, to do the smiting, and, most importantly

I

WANT

KISSING.
